Akhil Johri will become United Tech's CFO
starting Jan. 1, returning from Pall Corp, where he had also
been CFO. Before joining Pall in May 2013, Johri has spent 26
years at United Tech, including as CFO of the UTC Propulsion &
Aerospace Systems business.
Peter Longo, who had been serving as United Tech's acting CFO,
will return to his prior post as CFO of UTC Propulsion &
Aerospace Systems.
Hayes became CEO of the maker of Otis elevators, Pratt & Whitney
jet engines and Sikorsky helicopters on Nov. 24. United Tech
said then that its prior chief executive and chairman Louis
Chenevert was retiring with immediate effect, an announcement
that stunned Wall Street.
The company's new chairman, Edward Kangas, has since said that
Chenevert stepped down late last month after Kangas spoke to him
out of concern about his priorities.
Johri, 53, also previously served as head of United Tech's
investor relations, and held senior financial roles at UTC Fire
and Security and Carrier Corp.
Pall said it was evaluating its succession options for Johri.
United Tech is hosting analysts and investors for its annual
outlook meeting in New York on Thursday.
